Halloween Movie List

I love all things dark, spooky, macabre, and occult-tinged, so Halloween is my favorite holiday, and October is my favorite time of year! I have grand plans to watch at least half of these movies this month, and post this list far in advance, but life caught up with me. Once I finish working the photo booth at Model Citizen's event tonight, maybe I'll crawl into bed and scare myself with one of these.

My goal here was not to create an all-inclusive list of horror movies. There are tons of great lists of top horror films all over the web. I tried to balance weird, spooky, scary, and of course: campy, based on my favorites and a super scientific poll of Facebook friends. Next year, I'll have to start two months out and WATCH. THEM. ALL!
